This paper presents preliminary results on the comparison of binary and integer based representations for the Base Stations Location (BSL) problem. The simplest model of this problem, which is already NP-complete, is dealt with to compare also different crossover operators. Experimental results support the hypothesis that the integer based representation with a specific crossover operator outpe...

Context: In power electronics applications, it is important to make comparisons between converters choose the device that best suits a particular application. This paper compares Boost converter and hybrid converter. The operating models of both under study are developed explained in detail allow for proper comparison analysis. Method: Using passive sign law, differential equations govern behav...

Conventional boost PFC converter suffers from the high conduction loss in the input rectifier-bridge. Higher efficiency can be achieved by using the bridgeless boost topology. In this paper, digital simulation of bridgeless PFC boost rectifiers, also called dual boost PFC rectifiers, is presented. Performance comparison between the conventional PFC boost rectifier and the bridgeless PFC boost r...
